Neymar makes first competitive start since metatarsal injury as Brazil open World Cup 2018 campaign

The PSG star lines up alongside Willian and Gabriel Jesus in attack as the Selecao start a quest for global glory against Switzerland

Neymar will make his first competitive start since February after being named in Brazil's starting XI for their World Cup Group E opener against Switzerland.

The 26-year-old sustained a fractured metatarsal while playing for Paris Saint-Germain, putting his World Cup participation in some doubt.

However, the world's most expensive player made a scoring return to action in friendly wins over Croatia and Austria prior to Brazil's arrival in Russia, and lines up alongside Chelsea's Willian and Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus in a menacing front three.
